I am Damiano Giusti, passionate Android developer, rock music lover and guitar player.
Welcome to my blog, a place where I share some pills from my every day experience about mobile apps development and software engineering.
I started developing for the Android platform back in 2013, and I published my first app in the same year. It was a mobile version for an italian well-known electronic grade book. Since I was at school in such period, I was using my grade book on a daily basis for checking assignments, schedules and, obviously, grades. At that time there wasn’t an official application for receiving notifications and allowing students to easy consult their school report… Until my app was born!
I’m currently working as Software Engineer at MOLO17, an italian company which moves really fast. I’m an Android Engineer, but also I write some iOS stuff at times.
I’m involved in different projects for various customers, following all the development process steps. Moreover, I like writing about my work and my thoughts on the company’s blog.
… aaand I’m also a guitar player. I play in two bands, and I love rock music!
I love exploring new technologies and applying new architectures to my projects.
I’m proudly advocating for the adoption of the Kotlin language. I built the latest project of my company using it with profit. Also, I’m experimenting the Kotlin Multiplatform feature, discovering the great amount of possibilities that such technology makes available to us.
I also held some talks. I proudly participated as a speaker at the first edition of the Milan KotlinCommunityConf, the first italian conference dedicated to Kotlin, in 2018.
Here’s the list of the events for you, with some references where available.
First talk of mine I held at Milan KotlinCommunityConf 2018. Here I explain how I used Kotlin together with RxJava in a project at MOLO17, applying Clean Architecture.
An informal talk I held at Mikamai-LinkMe offices in Milan (Italy). Talking about Clean Architecture to the rescue where legacy code spreads unconfined. I had a good time, ending with networking… and pizza! 🍕
A workshop I held at TEDx in Castelfranco Veneto (Treviso, Italy). The attendees were students and professionals, and the aim of the session was introducing Java developers to the Kotlin language.
